HI i was doing the hot backup cloning in ebsr12.
i have backed up the control files and datafiles and the trace file also.
i have done the steps till copying the db and apps tier.
next is
2) Create the target database control file manually
Open the backed up control file
a. remove all lines before the startup nomount statement
b. Modify the REUSE to SET
c. Modify Source DB SID to Target SID (Here PROD to TEST)
d. Modify NORESETLOGS TO RESETLOGS
e. delete all lines after the CHARACTER SET statement
i am not sure about editing the control file ....
I am a started in db's
can anyone help me in this?

HI i was doing the hot backup cloning in ebsr12.
i have backed up the control files and datafiles and the trace file also.
i have done the steps till copying the db and apps tier.Looks like you are doing cold backup and not hot backup! Was the database cleanly shutdown before copying the database files?
a. remove all lines before the startup nomount statementCorrect -- Or you could leave those lines if they are commented.
b. Modify the REUSE to SETCorrect.
c. Modify Source DB SID to Target SID (Here PROD to TEST)Correct.
d. Modify NORESETLOGS TO RESETLOGSCorrect.
You will also have to change ARCHIVELOG to NOARCHIVELOG -- If your source instance is in ARCHIVELOG mode.
e. delete all lines after the CHARACTER SET statementKeep the lines/command that open the database and create the temporary tablespace.
Thanks,
Hussein

Unique Error while doing hot backup Cloning!

Dear All,
I am using EBS 11.5.10.2 with DB 9.2.0.6.
I am doing hot backup cloning by referring *[Cloning Oracle Application 11i /R12 with Rapid Clone - Database (9i/10g/11g) Using Hot Backup on Open Database|https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=760772.1]*
I am facing a unique issue, when I run adcfgclone.pl dbconfig <my_context_file>, application of my Production Server start misbehaving and it gives me an error:
Node Id does not exist for the current application server id.When I check the FND_NODE table I found that there server id was empty in it.
I have to run than run the following steps as the resolution:
1. Shutdown all the services.
2. EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE.SETUP_CLEAN;
3. COMMIT;
4. Run AutoConfig on all tiers, firstly on the DB tier and then the APPS tiers,to repopulate the required system tables.
5.start all the services and verify the issue.
Than application behaves normally.
Is there any additional step to be followed while Hot Backup Cloning other than mentioned in the above mentioned ML Doc?
Please suggest,
Anchorage :)

This is very strange, how come this happens in Production, when you are doing cloning in TEST/DEV instance.
Is there any additional step to be followed while Hot Backup Cloning other than mentioned in the above mentioned ML Doc?I feel there are no other additional steps, as I Recently did successfully hotbackup cloning using the same document.

RMAN & Hot backup cloning taking long time

Dear DBAs,
We are doing both RMAN & Hot backup cloning foe that taking more time to restore data files to TEST instance. scp taking too much time to copy to target server because of its volume of data (1.5 TB) & Mounting the RMAN backups drive on test server and restoring from that drive taking more than 8 hours.
I heard that some companies are using some device to move heavy volume Hot backup copy from source to dest faster for clone the instance easily with in minutes. What is that device name to take hot backup copies from source and restore it in target server.
Test server Specs
Processor 8 cores with 32GB Memory.
Thanks
DBA

Hot backup is not recommanded for the database size more than 1T.
RMAN backup and restore is the only opiton available for a DBA.
Other option is to use EMC Symmentrix/BCV's/Snapshots. EMC uses pair of disks to achive synch the produciton data with test server. read more about EMC symmentrix or ask your storage team.

Backup strategy for ebs R12?

Hi,
I have a couple of questions regarding to backup strategy for ebs R12.
Let's say that we have one application server and one database server running, and we would like to have a backup periodically for both servers.
This means that we want to have the exactly same backup of configurations and other files for the application server and the database server in case of any fatal crashes in the servers.
I went through some discussion threads and it seems common way is to use RMAN for the data of database and file system copy for application and database servers. But, I would like to know what's the best way or recommended way for the backup strategy for data and server files of Oracle e-business suite.
Do you guys have any suggestion for this?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
SH

Hi SH;
I suggest check first our previous discussion
backup and recovery startegy for EBS
Re: Backup System
Backup Policy for EBS can
If you make search you can find many other thread which is mention same question
For your issue basicly what we do
1. For our prod db, if possible we take weekly cold backup(sunday) and take rman backup also daily(full backup, but it depends system you can prefer to take incremental)
2. For our system we take file system backup weekly(OS base)
3. For application we take backup every sunday(for some system 15 days or 30 days period). The most important point here if your system prod, and if you need to apply patch to your system you need to have valid backup and also need backup for after patching
One other important issue is we run preclone sh before take backup for apps and db tier

Hot Backup cloning vs Cold Backup CLoning

Hi,
when we do cold backu cloning...we get same data as production database..
when we do hot backup cloning..i think we will loose current transactions which are recorded in redo log and not archived ....am i right?????
when we do hot backup cloning....all the database files headers are freezed..means...all latest changes are not copied while we copying datafiles to test machine...but those changes are logged in archived log files...we will get these changes in archived log files...
am i right?????
please correct me if i am wrong.....

When all is said and done there is really no difference in the clone database made from a cold backup or a hot backup as both are point in time recoveries.
In the case of the cold backup the source database was made unavailable to users while the backup was taken. If you have that luxary then that is fine, but many sites would need or want to keep the source available while the backup runs.
The backup type should not be an issue unless you really need to capture the source database with the data in a specific known state where no changes were taking place.

Hot Backup Cloning

Hi Hussein and Fadi,
Do you have any experience on doin Hot Backup Cloning of Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2.
Can you please share your experience

the issue here is in the database part
i use the following steps
-run preclone
-Copy the Application tier file system (same as normal cloning)
-Copy the Database tier file system
here i put all the tablspace in backup mode
alter tablespace tablesacpe_name begin backup;
-Copy the data files
When finish the copy we have to execute the following sql statement on the source database:
-Put the database back in normal mode.
Alter tablespace tablesacpe_name end backup;
ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT;
-Copy Archive logs
after that you can start working in the target env. for the database you have to
-fix init.ora to reflect new paths and new sid
-start the database nomount.
-create control file manual.
-alter database mount.
-recover the database.
hope that helped
fadi

Stop Applications.
Apply the Patch with adpatch and use driver file u9171651.drv.
Post steps to be done as listed below as per Patch Readme.
Description
This patch must be applied on all the APPL_TOPs.
If your system is implemented as a Shared Application Tier File System,
you need to apply this patch only once, on any one of the application
tier nodes. However, AutoConfig must be executed on all the Nodes.
This patch can be applied on 12.1 or higher.
Post Install Steps
After applying this patch, update all Database Tier Nodes with the code level
provided by this patch, by performing the following steps :
1. On the Application Tier (as the APPLMGR user):
. Source the environment variables for Oracle Applications
UNIX:
. ./<APPL_TOP>/APPS<CONTEXT_NAME>.env
Windows:
<APPL_TOP>\envshell<CONTEXT_NAME>.cmd
. Run AutoConfig on the APPL_TOP
. Execute admkappsutil.pl utility to create the file appsutil.zip
perl <AD_TOP>/bin/admkappsutil.pl
This will create appsutil.zip in <INST_TOP>/admin/out
Note:
For exact details on how to run Autoconfig and how to create appsutil.zip,
please refer to Metalink Note 387859.1.
2. On the Database Tier (as the ORACLE user):
. Source the environment variables for RDBMS ORACLE_HOME
UNIX:
cd <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>
. ./<RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>/<CONTEXT_NAME>.env
Windows:
<RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>\<CONTEXT_NAME>.cmd
. Copy or FTP the appsutil.zip file to the <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>
. Uncompress appsutil.zip under the <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>
cd <ORACLE_HOME>
unzip -o appsutil.zip
. Run AutoConfig on the <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>
Note:
For exact details on how to run Autoconfig on the dbTier and how transfer
the AutoConfig updates from the APPL_TOP to the RDBMS ORACLE_HOME please
refer to Metalink Note 387859.1, Section 2, Step 3 (Patching AutoConfig).
3. Re-run adpreclone.pl on the dbTier and appsTier
Warning:
Since new updates included on this patch have been applied to the system,
Adpreclone must be executed again in order to apply them into the clone
directory structures used during cloning.
perl adpreclone.pl dbTier
perl adpreclone.pl appsTier

I am following note 406982.1 for cloning steps..
in advanced clonign options, it doesnt specify to run adcfgclone on apps tier too
please guide
help appreciated

Hi,
The document assumes that you are aware of the RMAN backup, and you know how to duplicate the database.

Search this forum for "RMAN Duplicate" there are many documents referenced as this topic was discussed many times before.

RMAN backup fro EBS R12

Hi,
I have made I backup script for EBS R12 using RMAN with the following parameters:

Thanks a lot

Hi,
You need to verify that yourself. Restore the RMAN backup and verify that your backup is valid (I believe you already have links to RMAN documentation is some other thread).

Ebs r12 cloning using rman online backup

dear all,
how are you guys? i have ebs r12 on multi node and i want to clone db tier and apps tier using rman online backup,can anybody provide me the detail steps of cloning ebs(db tier and appstier ) using rman online backup and directory structure on source and target database is also different.your help highly appreciated thanks in advance.
regards.

Hi,
You cannot use RMAN to clone the Apps tier of the EBS and you may use RMAN only on the DB tier. For a complete backup, as mentioned by Hemant K Chitale, you will have to use the rapid clone utility.
To perform a rapid clone using RMAN there are plenty of step by step instructions in google which may guide in addition to support.oracle.com, Let me google that for you
Thanks &
Best Regards,

Cloning ebs r12 on 11gR2 database

Hi all,
our ebs r12 12.1.3 and db 11..2.0.2 OS:oul5x64
from ebs r12 12.1.3 and db 11.1.0.7 i do not have any problems with cloning, but when upgrade database to 11.2.0.2 . the template file was different and the clone failed because it could not fine the controlfile.
in this note:Troubleshooting RAC RapidClone issues with Oracle Applications R12 [ID 1303962.1]
UNDER
Create Database Image
+-- Moderator edit - deleted MOS Doc content - pl do NOT post contents of MOS Docs +*
BUT IN 11gR2 11.2.0.2 database this template like this
adcldbstage.rman
run {
sql "alter system switch logfile";
backup as copy datafile 1 format '/u05/DB/data/stage/%U_system.328.769213623';
backup as copy datafile 2 format '/u05/DB/data/stage/system.353.769211817';

backup as copy datafile 407 format '/u05/DB/data/stage/apps_ts_seed.295.769216925';
sql "alter system switch logfile";
so when doing the clone, it always thrown an error could not fine the controlfile...and it did not backup archive log files so even rename the controlfile to "backup_controlfile.ctl" it could not open because missing archive files.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

Thanks Hussein,
it failed at stage # 3
because the template on image copy did not have any of archive backup. so the copy only contains the database files that was why it always failed at this stage.
Thanks very much for your help.
